Everyone has an opinion on nepotism, although most of us probably wouldn't mind benefiting from it. In popular culture, the term nepo babies most often refers to well-connected Hollywood offspring pursuing entertainment careers of their own (shout-out to New York Magazine for helping cement this vernacular). But the term can be applied to the children of famous people in just about any field, from politics to sports.

San Jose State had the ball on Central Michigan's 15-yard line trailing by two points with 1:13 left Friday night. Denis Lynch lined up for his first field-goal attempt of the season. His wobbly kick missed wide right. San Jose State went on to lose the season opener as Central Michigan held on for a 16-14 victory at CEFCU Stadium.

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Brad Larson made a 37-yard field goal on the second possession of double overtime to give Tarleton State a 30-27 victory over Army on Friday night for the Texans' second-ever win over an FBS team. At the end of regulation, Army quarterback Dewayne Coleman left the game with 57 seconds left due to an injury after a scramble.

The obvious answers are Oregon and Arizona State, the defending Big Ten and Big 12 champions, respectively. Of the two, the Sun Devils might have more favorable conditions for a repeat given their established quarterback (Sam Leavitt) and the dearth of powerhouses in the Big 12. The Associated Press preseason poll reflects their twin perches: Oregon is No. 7, with a first-place vote, while ASU is No. 11, its highest preseason position since 1998.

The chase for the NL West crown is heating up. The Los Angeles Dodgers are back at Dodger Stadium this weekend, so grab your Dodgers gear, cheer loud and support the Boys in Blue. And when you're not at the ballpark or watching them on TV, LA's got a full lineup of fun events waiting for you all weekend long!

Clemson has the advantage of continuity, and that matters early in the season. Quarterback Cade Klubnik is coming off a breakout year with 43 total touchdowns, has four returning starting offensive linemen and his top three receivers ( Antonio Williams, Bryant Wesco Jr., and T.J. Moore) are also back. That chemistry cannot be overstated, especially when facing an LSU defense that ranked 75th against the pass last year and struggled to limit explosive plays.

As the saying goes, you only get one chance to make a first impression. And the very first such impression teams will make on their fans in Week 1 will come when they run out of the tunnel, fresh threads and all. One team making a major early impression with its gear? The Cincinnati Bearcats. The Bearcats are opening their season under the lights against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Arrowhead Stadium, and they will wear a uniform feature appropriate for the special occasion: script lettering on the team's helmets.

"When I first got to college, my mom said I was here for three or four years, no transfer portal," Corleone said. "I was never the guy to chase money. I was always loyalty over everything. I wanted that connection."

Among the teams that reached the initial 12-team College Football Playoff, four brought back starting quarterbacks for this fall, and two others saw their QBs transfer but remain in the college game. Normally, the focus of the sport would be on the returning signal-callers. Players such as Penn State's Drew Allar, Clemson's Cade Klubnik, Arizona State's Sam Leavitt, SMU's Kevin Jennings and an intriguing group of incumbents in the Big 12, SEC and elsewhere would be generating the most buzz.

Virginia Tech junior linebacker Caleb Woodson, a team captain, was arrested Saturday on a charge of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated. Woodson, 21, has a court date scheduled for Sept. 9. According to online court records, this is his first DWI offense. "We are aware of an incident involving Caleb Woodson," Virginia Tech said in a statement. "We take this matter seriously and will handle it according to athletic department policy and university policy."

There are century-old marching bands and pulsating techno hits. There are rampaging animals, covered wagons, antique cars and even storied rocks. There are quaint customs and there are controversies -- it wouldn't be college football without controversy, right? With another season upon us, we've gathered a collection of our college football reporters' favorite game-day traditions. We were looking for moments fans could count on and look forward to experiencing

He said he wants to give the audience an inside look at his program and share his thoughts on college football, professional sports and pop culture, among other things.

Week 0 is college football's oft-ignored start to the season. The good stuff doesn't generally happen until the smorgasbord of Labor Day weekend. This year, though, it begins with a unique bang. Consider that, right now in some Dublin pub, two fan bases from Middle America are likely baffling locals by arguing not merely over their teams but the per-acre yields of wheat vs. corn. It's Iowa State and Kansas State to kick things off -- in Ireland no less.

Riley said that the junior wideout had actually "progressed a little bit ahead of schedule."

Klubnik read the comments on social media and heard fans clamoring for a transfer quarterback after a 9-4 season, snapping a 12-year double-digit win streak.

Diego Pavia, the 24-year-old quarterback at Vanderbilt, remarks on the changing perception of the city, citing his own rise and the new wave of enthusiasm for Vanderbilt football.

The offense has a superstar in running back Jeremiyah Love, the offensive line is exceptional, there's depth at receiver, and the secondary is stocked with high-level talent led by Leonard Moore.

Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele will start at Oregon State on Aug. 30, following Jared Goff as just the Bears' second true freshman quarterback to start the season-opening game.

Auburn will retire the No. 2 jersey of Cam Newton, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2010 and led the team to a national title that season.

As a first-time college coach, former NFL quarterback Michael Vick knew there would be a learning curve in his first season at Norfolk State.

Golding will make $2.55 million this season, $2.6 million in 2026 and $2.7 million in 2027, positioning him among the highest-paid defensive coordinators.

The highlight of that, of course, is the 12-team College Football Playoff, now in its second year. The five highest-ranked conference champions, plus the next seven highest-ranked teams, will make the field.

The Big Ten conference led the way with seven player selections, two more than the Southeastern Conference. Four total players from the Independent conference were selected.

During the Cleveland Browns' preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders had a heartfelt encounter with referee Brian Perry, who recalled officiating Sanders' college debut.

Dakorian Moore is the highest-graded high school receiver evaluated by ESPN since 2020, showcasing elite skills with over 4,000 career receiving yards and a strong performance in spring practices.

"I'm 59, in great shape and healthy. I've had success everywhere we've ever been," Fisher said. "The end at Texas A&M, it's unfortunate, but we also had the highest-ranked team they ever had there in 2020."
